the slide presentation is furnished as Exhibit 99.3 and incorporated herein by reference.
In its earnings release, slide presentation and this filing, DTE Energy discusses 2012 operating
earnings guidance. It is likely that certain items that impact the company’s 2012 reported results
will be excluded from operating results. Reconciliations to the comparable 2012 reported earnings
guidance are not provided because it is not possible to provide a reliable forecast of specific
line items. These items may fluctuate significantly from period to period and may have a
significant impact on reported earnings.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Current Report on
Form 8-K, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 and 99.3, shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes
of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the
liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under
